Jerusalem, The Capital Of Apartheid

Here is something you don't see too often in the US - a truthful assessment of Israeli policy:

By acknowledging Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, President Trump has demonstrated a genuinely deep historical insight. Even if Israel itself had claimed any other city as its capital – be it Tel-Aviv, where Israel’s declaration of independence took place in 1948; or Hebron, where once Abraham bought a graveyard, and where nowadays a few hundred Jewish settlers terrorize hundreds of thousands of Palestinians; or even Vilnius, once known as “Lithuania’s Jerusalem” for its prosperous Jewish community (Israelis now parrot that “every people has a right to choose its own capital”, so why not?) – the leader of the free world would have been correct in pointing at Jerusalem as the true and genuine capital of the Israeli Apartheid.

Since the fall of the South African Apartheid in 1994, no capital – in fact, no other city on the globe – has been divided into 60% first-class full citizens and 40% second-class “residents”. Precisely this, however, is the essence of “united” Jerusalem. When Israel occupied and annexed the eastern parts of the city in 1967, it regretfully found out that they were inhabited – by Palestinians, more than 300.000 of them by now. These Palestinians were not granted the Israeli citizenship, but merely turned into tolerated inhabitants, as if they had somehow infiltrated into their own city.

Spot on !!!

An early UN resolution declared that Jerusalem should be an international city. Frankly, this is exactly what I believe the Bible envisions for the Holy City.

But the Jews (who represent only ONE TRIBE of Jacob's descendants) are turning it into THEIR city, the site for THEIR temple and no other. Once they are finished, there will be no going back.

What is their solution to today's state of apartheid in Jerusalem? To force the Palestinians out (i.e., ethnic cleansing), and in a very real sense they are forcing EVERYONE out.

Is that what G-d wants? That is not what this prophecy appears to say:

And I saw no temple therein [i.e., in Jerusalem]: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Revelation 21:22-27 KJV

And by the way, President Carter was right when he accused Israel of apartheid. It's a shame we didn't listen to him.
